Annual Report

www.fundacioportaventura.org In 2018, Fundació PortAventura launched the PortAventura Dreams village project, a space within the resort to welcome families with children that are affected or have been affected by a serious illness, for them to enjoy an all-inclusive stay. It will occupy an area of 8,850 m² inside the PortAventura World resort and will have 6 fully adapted houses. This project expresses the Foundation’s firm commitment to these people, a commitment that forms the central axis of its social action. The purpose of the stay is to positively impact the morale of the ill children and their families to help their recovery, and also allow them to share, in a friendly and playful setting, experiences with other families facing similar situations. In 2018, we carried out a trial run in our hotels with 5 families that are users of La Casa de Los Xuklis, managed by AFANOC (The Association of Family and Friends of Children with Cancer in Catalonia).

How does PortAventura Dreams work?

PortAventura Dreams enrols in its holiday programme families of children aged between 4 and 17 years old, Fundació PortAventura presents who are affected or have been affected by a serious life-threatening illness. These illnesses are included on the list kept by the Ministry of Health. The preparation, selection and supervision of families admitted to the programme is determined by a committee made up of medical teams and social workers from the hospitals with which the Foundation collaborates. In the initial phase of the project, the hospitals involved in the programme are Hospital Sant Joan de Déu, Hospital Vall d’Hebron and the Niño Jesús University Hospital for Children. Other leading hospitals throughout the rest of Spain are expected to join the programme. Coordination within the hospitals, with the exception of Hospital Sant Joan de Déu, is validated by the Red Cross thanks to the support of La Caixa Foundation. PortAventura The doctors are responsible for deciding whether or not a child or adolescent can take a week-long holiday and which activities they can take part in 4 to 17 years old 6-day stay National territory Free of charge a village within the resort for during their stay. seriously-ill children and their families 6 Corporate Responsibility as a company value
